Opting for one colour - yes that means top, bottoms, bag and shoes- is a surprisingly simple way to look put together and on-trend.

As a budget-friendly-bonus this is all about reimagining the pieces you already own so you may already have everything you need in your wardrobe to create a new look with a big impact.

The first rule of thumb is choose your shade wisely- if you rely on black separates, try going all out in grey for an effect which is subtle, understated and displays quiet confidence. Navy, Camel, and cream all have a similar effect.

Most important of all? Keep. It. Simple. Head to toe commitment to a single shade is impactful enough so go for streamlined shapes and keep accessories to a minimum. If you want to stay ahead of the sartorial curve make a nod to the Resort 2016 shows and go for tailored suit in an unexpected shade- Topshop Unique have a winner in pale pink crushed velvet.
